Chapter 352: The Poor Dagger (1)
Hong Qingfeng's face was blue.
"What do you think we should do now?"
Wen Liang opened his mouth and said: "Just like they said, the two brothers Lin Kun opened their mouths, they didn't really catch Tang Hongjin, these people have been caught now, how can they ask for a price." ”
"What do you mean?"
Wen Liang said: "Check the people first, and as long as the foundation is clean, let's hand over the news and let the king of the Southern Courtyard judge for himself." ”
"This ......" Hong Qingfeng hesitated.
Naturally, he hesitated, and handed it over to others to make the choice, and he did everything by himself, and handed Tang Hongjin up, the credit was different.
"My lord, Brother Lin Kun died of greed. Wen Liang said.
"Hey, I get it when you say that. "Being a man can't just be greedy for great merit, but also see if your catties are enough to earn this great merit.
"Forget it, anyway, as long as I hand over the news, this credit is enough for me to be promoted. Hong Qingfeng thought of this, but smiled heartily.
......
"Can they agree?" asked Yelu Feiguang out of the Wooden Pavilion.
"Don't worry, if you guessed correctly, they are ready to find out my identity and deliver the news to the king of the Southern Courtyard. ”
Chu Tiannan's estimate was almost the same as reality, and they found out the news and handed it over to the king of the Southern Courtyard. Because he has beaten Hong Qingfeng very clearly and clearly, don't be too greedy.
The two Lin Kun brothers died at the hands of greed, and a state pastor would not fail to understand this truth.
"So what do we do next?"
"Wait, it depends on whether the king of the Southern Courtyard has the courage, if there is one, we will invite you into the urn, if not, we will consider it in the long run. ”
"When we go home, we open our teahouse and do our business, and after he finds out the ins and outs, he will naturally understand. ”
Chu Tiannan used the identity of Xiao Li, and said that he had the support of sand thieves behind him.
Hong Qingfeng couldn't find it with his ability, of course, he understood that this group of sand thieves wanted to see the king of the Southern Courtyard because there was someone behind him, and this level was no longer the level that a small state pastor could interfere with.
Hong Qingfeng will naturally let go, and should understand what to do and what not to do.
Teahouse.
Chu Tiannan usually does business as usual, chatting with the neighbors and paying taxes to the guards above, and some spies from the Southern Courtyard King faction have come two or three times these days, and then they left quickly.
In order to cover up, Chu Tiannan also specially asked Tang Jin to send his subordinates to guard the city to look for it, Qiu Beicheng was almost turned over, and some people came to the teahouse, of course, Tang Jin found someone to dismiss him.
Chu Tiannan lived a small life so plainly.
Be quiet, calculate the time, Hong Qingfeng and their side, they should be unable to sit still.
...... Sure enough, in the pavilion of the wooden pavilion.
Hong Qingfeng sat in the gazebo, leaning on a wooden chair, "What happened to the things you were asked to check?"
In the past few days, Wen Liang has sent several groups of people to investigate, and the teahouse has nothing to look at, but he did see the city lord's escort team entering, and it didn't take long for him to be driven out. Prove that this group of people really has a background.
Wen Liang described the matter to Hong Qingfeng.
Hong Qingfeng snorted coldly: "It seems that he is really a person from other places with his own background." Forget it, we don't care about this matter, leave it to the king of the Southern Courtyard, and let him analyze it by himself. ”
"Sand thieves are nothing more than greedy for fame and familiarity. How about letting the king of the southern courtyard come? ”
The king of the North Barbarian South Courtyard and the King of the North Courtyard. They are all substantive official positions that have been fought on the battlefield, and their king of the Southern Courtyard once killed three ordinary gods of war on the battlefield.
Hong Qingfeng didn't even think about his personal safety.
Chu Tiannan and the others wanted to kill the king of the Southern Courtyard, Hong Qingfeng didn't know anything.
......
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Since Chu Tiannan chatted with Hong Qingfeng in the pavilion of the wooden pavilion that afternoon, Tang Jin has never appeared again, and has been hiding incognito in a secret pavilion in the teahouse, and every day Chu Tiannan will send someone to deliver food, in order to hide people's eyes.
There will be guests in the teahouse as usual in the morning, Chen Jian serves tea and pours water every day, and has become a skilled shopkeeper, Tang Hongjin is no longer the proprietress anymore, locked in the firewood room every day, with delicious food and drink, Uncle Qiu was sent back by Tang Jin to hide, after all, according to the outside world, Uncle Qiu is dead.
Nayedo and Shaqing patrol the neighborhood every day, dealing with minor crises and thugs.
After such a division of labor, Chu Tiannan and Yelu Feiguang drank small tea every day, and the days passed very smoothly.
This morning has just been, the weather is clear, the sun is shining outside, and there are also desert sand flying in the city of Beiban, rolling up dust and smoke.
"This lord, please inside. Chen Jian was wearing an undershirt and a towel around his neck, and he was busy wiping the table when he saw someone smiling and beckoning in.
The person who walked in, dressed as a clerk, with a long cloth shirt, a scholar's sword hanging from his waist, Baoyu, and cloth shoes, and then looked at his face, his eyes were as warm as the sun, and he had a shallow smile on his face, and he had an elegant scholarly temperament.
Beiban clerks are generally dressed like this.
This document walked in and introduced himself first: "Down, Fang Wentang, come and talk to your boss about something." ”
"You sit here for a moment. Chen Jian replied unhurriedly, and then began to pour the tea leaves, wash the tea with water, drop the tea washing water, brew the tea set, and then warm a cup of tea.
"Please use it. Chen Jian said softly.
"Hehe, thank you. Fang Wentang paused a silver ingot on the table.
...... Second floor.
There is a hole in the gap in the floor, which is just enough to take in the situation of the living room on the first floor, and when Jian Chen was pouring tea, he pressed the button, and Chu Tiannan reacted, so he naturally came to see it clearly.
He laughed and said, "The bait is hooked." ”
Yelu Feiguang asked, "Shall we see or not?"
"Sure, see what this clerk has to say to us. ”
"Do you guess the king of the Southern Courtyard will come?"
"The paperwork is here, he shouldn't be willing to come in person, right?"
"No, when the clerk came, he was willing to come and contact him in person. Chu Tiannan said happily, and then went downstairs all the way to the living room on the first floor.
Chu Tiannan sat at the same table with the clerk.
Chen Jian trotted over and pulled the door of the teahouse shut, and suddenly the lights were a little dim.
"Business isn't going well. The clerk took a sip of tea and said meaningfully.
"Isn't this waiting for you, a great guest, to send us business?" Chu Tiannan replied.
"That's the reason, I'm here today, and I'm really here to give you business. The clerk laughed heartily.
Chu Tiannan waved his hand, Chen Jian came over and poured him a cup of tea and took a sip, in this kind of negotiation occasion, whoever breaks the mystery first, who hits the blood first, will have the upper hand.
The document was for Tang Hongjin, he originally asked for something from Chu Tiannan, but he didn't have to wait for Chu Tiannan to speak first, but instead asked with a knife: "The conditions you said can't be lowered?"
Chu Tiannan pretended not to understand what he was saying, and just asked with a smile: "There were no conditions in the first place, so where did you lower it?"
The clerk said: "You understand, the king of the Southern Courtyard will see you in person, this condition is too harsh. ”
"Well, there's no need to talk about it. At this time, it is necessary to open your mouth to suppress the other party, and Chu Tiannan deeply understands the rules of negotiation.
The clerk came to ask Tang Hongjin, of course he refused to end it here, and said with a dry laugh: "Brother, you are in a hurry enough." ”
"Since I was a child, my parents invited a fortune teller to say, I can't slow down, I'm stubborn, I have to get what I want, otherwise I'll panic. ”
"Okay, I can agree to your conditions, tomorrow at this point, I will arrange for you to meet with the king of the Southern Courtyard, but now, you have to let me see the goods first, what about the goods?"
What the clerk wants to confirm most now is Tang Hongjin. The daughter of the king of the North Courtyard is very important and the biggest bargaining chip when negotiating between the North and the South.
With Tang Hongjin here, the king of the southern courtyard will be able to contain the king of the northern courtyard step by step.
Years of fighting can also tell the winner.
"It's in the backyard firewood room, and the starting price that can be paid will naturally be given to you. ”
"It is said that the daughter of the king of the North Courtyard is as beautiful as a flower, and you take me with long eyes?"
The clerk must have come to see Tang Hongjin this time, otherwise he would not be at ease, and it would not be good to deal with the king of the Southern Courtyard when he went back, this was hardly a discussion, and Chu Tiannan did not expect him to make concessions in this matter.
"Okay, I'll take you to the back to see if the daughter of the king of the North Courtyard has three heads and six arms. ”
"I'm relieved to say that. “
The clerk was relieved to hear that he could see Tang Hongjin's true face, he suspected many times on the way here that this group of people was just a false shot, what ambitions Chu Tiannan had, for the king of the Southern Courtyard, it was just a matter of one sentence, but this great news, if it was just an oolong, it would be the most uncomfortable, as long as he was willing to take him to see the goods, it would prove to be true.
"Just go?"
"Let's go. ”
The entrance of the firewood room ......
Chu Tiannan opened the door of the courtyard, Tang Hongjin was tied up and tied to death, with a towel stuffed in his mouth, his face flushed and his hair messy, obviously he had been locked up for many days.
The clerk looked up and down at the daughter of the king of the North Courtyard, closed his eyes and recalled carefully for a while, he exclaimed: "It's really the daughter of the king of the North Courtyard!"
"How can you say that the goods are enough?" Chu Tiannan said with a hearty smile.
Tang Hongjin was still struggling, and his face was still suffocating.
"That's how you treat the daughter of the King of the North Courtyard, don't you want to make a deal with Don Jin?" asked the clerk.
"If the adults can afford the price, what do we still think about what the king of the North Courtyard will do?" If the adults can't afford the price, do you think how to tie Tang Hongjin is important to us?"
When the clerk heard this, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said with a smile: "It's the same, it's not that important. ”
"This person is very important to us, so we must treat it properly, and tomorrow I will arrange for the king of the Southern Courtyard to have a good meeting with you. ”
"Wait. ”
Chu Tiannan's eyes were strange, and he looked at the document in a daze.
"What's wrong?" the clerk wondered.
Chu Tiannan's face returned to normal, shook his head and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I think of an old friend of mine." ”
